HTA relocates to Oxfordshire


The HTA has moved into its new offices and the new address is Horticulture House, Chilton, Didcot, Oxfordshire, OX11 0RN. The main contact number for member enquiries and orders is 0333 003 3550 (8.30-5.30 Mon-Thurs and 8.30-5 Fri).

Alongside the light and airy office space for staff and partner organisations on the first floor Horticulture House provides a great facility which is available for the industry to use (at preferential rates for HTA members). In addition to a members’ lounge (available for use free of charge) there are six meeting rooms, showroom space and a conference room (seats 100) available. Newly refurbished and with a modern décor these will be ideal for client meetings, training workshops, product launches and regional roadshows.

HTA Chief Executive Carol Paris comments, “We are up and running in our new premises which provide a great facility for the organization and the industry. We are delighted that the AIPH (International Association of Horticultural Producers) and CIH (Chartered Institute of Horticulture) have moved with us and GCA will have a meeting room at Horticulture House – making it a real horticultural hub and vibrant space for the industry.”

She adds, “In our first week alone we have hosted the Garden Industry Marketing Board, APL Awards judging, Amenity Suppliers and BOPP Committee meetings to name but a few! We also hosted the planting of a Bramley apple tree (and accompanying crab apple) to mark the 25th anniversary of the European Nurserystock Association (ENA) – not bad going for week one!”

There are a couple of opportunities coming up to view the facilities.

Firstly, there will be a manufacturers/suppliers open day over the coming weeks where you are welcome to pop by and find out more about a look at the facilities available to hire.

The HTA AGM will take place on Tuesday 6 December at Horticulture House at 11.30 am. AGM papers will be available on the HTA website in November – www.hta.org.uk/htaagm2016.

To register interest in receiving further information about the facilities, rates and the open day please email bookings@hta.org.uk
